Xiao Jinghe?

Isn't this the protagonist of the story?

Chu Jing secretly looked at the man in front of him. Xuanjian Sect was also one of the five major sects, and Xiao Jinghe was also one of the best among the younger generation of disciples in Xuanjian Sect.

At the age of eighteen, he had already reached the middle stage of foundation building.

This is her sister's official partner. Chu Jing subconsciously looked at Lin Ling, and Lin Ling did show great interest in these Xuanjian Sect disciples.

Xuanyuan Yuli looked at the people in front of her, frowned slightly, raised her chin and asked: "Xuanjian Sect? Why should we bring you with us?"

Xiao Jinghe looked at Xuanyuan Yuli, feeling displeased by her words, but he patiently explained, "Actually, we've been here for seven days now, and we've already done a lot of research on the disappearances at Hu Xianshan. Why don't you listen to the information we've gathered before making a decision?"

When Xuanyuan Yuli heard this, she immediately lost her objection. She didn't want to go from street to street asking everyone one by one. It would be so tiring.

Lin Ling had no objection. She said to Chu Jing, "Xiao Jing, let's go with them!"

Since both of them agreed, Chu Jing naturally couldn't refuse and nodded in agreement.

The group found a place to exchange information.

"I haven't asked the names of the fellow Taoists yet?" Xiao Jinghe asked proactively.

The three of them gave their names one by one.

"Xuanyuan Yuli!"

"My name is Lin Ling!"

"Lin Chujing."

Hearing Chu Jing's name, Xiao Jinghe showed a surprised expression, "So you are Lin Chu Jing from Tian Yan Sect! I've heard of you for a long time!"

Chu Jing didn't even know what kind of name he had.

She had been staying in Tianyan Sect since she went up the mountain when she was less than five years old. Even when she went out, she only did some small tasks of picking herbs near the sect.

Chu Jing asked doubtfully, "Have you heard of me?"

Xiao Jinghe smiled and said, "I've heard my master mention you many times, using you to inspire me to make progress. I never expected that it would be such a coincidence that I would meet the real person. After seeing you today, I know that what my master said was true."

Xuanyuan Yuli looked at Xiao Jinghe and then at Chu Jing in surprise, and winked at Lin Ling who was standing beside him.

Lin Ling still doesn't know what she means?

She turned her eyes away from Xuanyuan Yuli. Who would dare to try to scam her sister?

She had never heard of Xiao Jinghe. To be worthy of standing with her sister, he must be as talented and hardworking as her sister!

After much thought, Lin Ling couldn't find a single suitable person.

After all, the younger ones are not as strong as her sister, and those who are as strong as her are older.

Well, none of them match!

Soon, they got to the point.

As Xiao Jinghe said, they had been here for many days and had learned a lot about Hu Xianshan.

They even went to Huxian Mountain once yesterday.

"Huxian Mountain, actually, is Fox Fairy Mountain. There was also a Fox Fairy Temple on Huxian Mountain, but that was fifty years ago. We went to Huxian Mountain yesterday and also went to the Fox Temple. The Fox Temple has long been abandoned and no one worships or takes care of it.

"According to what we know, there used to be a fox demon with the cultivation level of the Golden Core Stage living on Huxian Mountain. It would grant the wishes of those who made wishes at the Fox Fairy Temple. But starting one day fifty years ago, the temple no longer had any effect, and it gradually fell into disrepair.

"And just a few months ago, people suddenly started going missing in Huxianshan. This is all the missing persons information we have collected so far."

As he spoke, a disciple next to Xiao Jinghe took out a piece of book.

Xiao Jinghe said: "The missing persons can basically be confirmed to be between the ages of fifteen and forty, and they are a man and a woman who were in a relationship."

After hearing this, Xuanyuan Yuli asked in confusion, "Since you've already found so much information, why are you dragging us along? Can't you just capture that demon on your own?"

There are five people in Xiao Jinghe's group, and the weakest one is at the seventh level of Qi Refining.

Among the three people in Chu Jing's group, the weakest one is Xuanyuan Yuli, who is at the eighth level of Qi Refining. The strongest one is Chu Jing. Chu Jing had established his foundation when he was nine years old, and reached the middle stage of foundation building two years ago. Lin Ling only reached the early stage of foundation building last year.

The strength of both sides seems to be similar, but Xiao Jinghe and his men have the advantage in numbers.

Xiao Jinghe didn't like Xuanyuan Yuli, the sharp-tongued little hottie. After all, he was a man of his word in his circle and couldn't stand being pushed around.

Xiao Jinghe glanced at Xuanyuan Yuli, then turned his gaze back and continued:

"We went to Huxian Mountain yesterday and found nothing, but there was definitely an evil aura on the mountain. We think it must be a fox demon."

"So we plan to find a woman to play a couple in love and go to Huxian Mountain again."

"As you can see, we are all men. If we were to ask mortals to go with us, let alone whether anyone would be willing to go, we can't even guarantee that they will be unharmed."

"I didn't expect to meet you today. I wonder if you are willing to cooperate with my plan to defeat the fox demon together?"

Several people looked at each other and had to say that this was a very good idea.

Xuanyuan Yuli and Lin Ling had no objections.

Chu Jing thought for a moment and asked, "I have a question. Could this fox demon be the same one from the Fox Fairy Temple fifty years ago?"

If so, then he is at the Jindan stage of cultivation. They cannot defeat him, and if they are not careful, they may be wiped out.

Xiao Jinghe shook his head. "That shouldn't be the case. The fox demon from fifty years ago was a benevolent one, completely different from the one who's killing people now. I'm more inclined to believe that it's another fox demon that's come to Huxian Mountain to stir up trouble!"

Seeing him say this, Chu Jing further asked: "So what is your plan?"

Xiao Jinghe glanced at Chu Jing and the other two, and finally his gaze fell back on Chu Jing. He looked at Chu Jing and said:

"Among us, Junior Sister Chu Jing and I have the highest cultivation base, so my plan is for Junior Sister Chu Jing and I to pretend to be a newlywed couple and travel through Huxian Mountain to lure the fox demon out. The others will lie in ambush nearby, and once the fox demon appears, we'll all work together to surround and eliminate it!"

Before Chu Jing could say anything, Lin Ling raised her objection, "What?!"

"You and Xiaojing are playing the bait?"

"What if that fox demon has a high level of cultivation, or has some special means, and encounters danger? I don't agree!"

"You and Xiao Jing are the only ones with the highest cultivation here. If anything goes wrong, the rest of us won't be able to do anything. How about you and I act as bait, and Xiao Jing will lead the rest of us in an ambush!"

Xiao Jinghe did not agree, but looked at Chu Jing, silently asking Chu Jing if she was willing.

Chu Jing didn't have any objection, but she was not very reassured if Xuanyuan Yuli or Lin Ling were really asked to go as bait.

After all, she has the highest cultivation among the three. If there is any emergency and she can't handle it, the two of them will be in even greater danger.

"I'm also at the Foundation Establishment stage! Stop looking down on me!" Seeing that Chu Jing wanted to agree, Lin Ling immediately slammed the table and yelled at Xiao Jinghe.
